Hitler got the idea for Concentration Camps from what the British did to the Boers.

There were no blacks in South Africa when the Portuguese settled there.

This is inaccurate. There were no "blacks" at the Cape, but they'd been in parts of SA to the north and east for a very long time indeed.

Probably they started moving in during the early to mid first millennium, IOW a thousand years or so before Europeans showed up. http://www.historytoday.com/shula-marks/south-africa-myth-empty-land

Shaka was a bad dude, but he was in what is now SA, in fact somewhat centrally located, and the people he drove out had been living in SA. Some fled from him almost up to Ethiopia, displacing and exterminating other tribes as they went.

With these factual corrections, I otherwise generally agree with you. Given the technological constraints he worked under, Shaka probably qualifies as the most gifted killer in human history.

Was in hospital recently for surgery. The post-care nurse was named Shaka. She said she was named after a mighty African king, which I guess is one way of looking at it. Being the disgustingly polite person I am, I didn't fill her in on his less attractive attributes.

Also it is one of my rules to never piss off a nurse while unable to effectively defend myself. :)

Heh.....Belgians are evil!

I never had a chance to read “King Leopold’s Ghost”, but I did at least watch the documentary film based on the book.

Hair-raising, to say the least.

You would be wrong.

The atrocities occurred while the Congo was a possession of Leopold II, a staunch Christian. He, essentially, purchased the Congo as a booby prize because his previous scheme to acquire the Philippines was unsuccessful.

No documentation but this is from a recent documentary about the Congo. In particular the program focused on a library that used to be funded by the Belgian government and, for fifty years now, the staff has continued to work at the library without pay in hopes that the Belgians will one day return.

The man who was narrating made the case for the deaths of sixty million people during the Belgian reign and noted how some towns and cities that were once prominent are not all but forgotten due to the mass murders.

One former city had a large railroad station that was abandoned and left to rot. It looked like the French railroad station I saw in the movie ‘Hugo’. I mention this so maybe the bit of information can help you find the same documentary.

I’m not much for documentaries but this one was compelling and fascinating in that it told so much about things I had never heard about. It’s amazing that so little is known in the West about such a large country.

I’ve got a nice coin dated 1912, from “Deustche Ostafrika”; I think that became Tanzania.

Yes, that was Tanzania, although back then it also included Burundi and Rwanda. After WWI the British took Tanganyika from the Germans and then hived off Rwanda and Burundi and gave them to the Belgians as a consolation prize.

The African Queen was about escaping German East Africa after WWI started. And the Germans really had a small navy on the lakes.

There may be a distinction between Creationist and Intelligent Design types, but no difference.

Perhaps you need to repent of your lack of faith.

I guess you don’t know much about Roman religion either.

I know they were unable to hold the few colonies they had due to the British navy (on the seas); in West Africa they lost what is today Namibia, and in the Pacific they lost the Caroline Islands. Like Italy they were late to the colonizing game, both countries only being born themselves in 1871.
